Oral and Transdermal
Sodium bicarbonate can be used intravenously, orally, can be vaporized in a nebulizer, used in douches and enemas and transdermally by putting considerable quantities in ones bathtub or by making a lotion from dissolving bicarbonate in just enough water to put all the powder into solution. Bicarbonate is the universal mainstream treatment of acidosis and is used by oncologists to neutralize the heavy acid nature of their chemo agents, which are quite dangerous to the patient. It is also used routinely in many clinical situations:
1) Severe diabetic ketoacidosis[1]
2) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation[2]
3) Pregnancy[3]
4) Hemodialysis[4]
5) Peritoneal dialysis[5]
6) Pharmacological toxicosis[6]
7) Hepatopathy[7]
8) Vascular surgery operations[8]
Medics and doctors are used to participating in a flurry of activity when trying to save a person who’s had a cardiac arrest — inserting IVs, placing a breathing tube, performing defibrillation to restart the heart. Sodium bicarbonate is a constant performer – literally a workhorse medicine performing consistently and safely under such conditions.

Sir,
I am using magnesium oil with good success, I can tell because of the muscle relaxing and pain reducing effects. However, I am a little confused over how to properly use bicarbonate. I hope you will respond to let me know if I am doing something I should or should not be doing. I am making and consuming my own magnesium bicarbonate water. I am using the method popular on the internet which is to react magnesium hydroxide(milk of magnesia) with carbonated water then dilute down with purified water for drinking.
I enjoy being educated on your website but I feel it needs more ‘how to do’ information. More specifics on dosing etc. would be helpful.
Thanks,
Dave
For information on Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Bicarbonate dosages please see the Sodium Bicarbonate E-Book, and for information on iodine dosages see the iodine.imva.info/index.php/iodine-dosages/
hi just wondering if taking 1 tsp of baking soda in air temp filtered water with a dash of pure maple syrup each day first thing in the morning would have any detrimental side effects..i have Aspergers(AS)which creates acid condish, plus malabsorption problems mostly from low hydrochloric acid levels etc etc.. doing all the right foods i.e.organics,no ‘badies’..will be starting on the trans-Mg very soon also,so would be great if you have the answer to my ‘wondering’..thanks..its brill Dr Sircus that you have given us hope to become ‘weller’
It would be best to take the sodium bicarb on an empty stomach. This may very well increase the hydrochloric acid content in the stomach. Also, it would be better to split the daily dose into two, in the morning and evening. If you notice excess gas cut down on the amount being used.
I have CIN II Preinvasive cervical cancer. I was diagnosed with CIN III, more severe, 3 years ago and had a LEEP done to remove the tissue and after that it was all gone. Now I recently went back in to the DOC and the CIN II is back – and I am supposed to have a LEEP again. This is technically the 3rd time because last time they cut out two deep layers of this. If I do this, I may greatly increase the possibility of miscarrying a child if I ever have any more kids. I have one now – and I am 27. I really want to do this treatment – and I am not sure how I should do this – I read I should make a douche or do I buy this from the store or what do I do? Is it safe? If this works for me, I will spread the word about it worldwide. Thank you for any info you may have.
Dr. Sircus is there any “bicarbonate type” of
benefit from drinking apple juice which has
the sodium bicarbonate dissolved in it?
Hal.
I am so glad you reintroduce us health seekers to bicarbonate of Soda. My father in Germany remedeed everything with it, plus herbs. He lived to be 93 and did not have an easy life. AM 1000 Radio Station had a speaker ones and he said: “1/2 a teespoon in the morn. and in the night.”. Stupid me, I never did it but I will now. I, as many others have a Candida issue. I wish you had a real book, I don’t like this E-book idea. Please comment.
Barbara
Dr.Sircus,
I thank you for all you provide to your readers.I
would ask you again to consider providing the choice of printed
books for those who,for several reasons,would rather not buy in E-book format
Would love a printed version of the books too!
I, too, much prefer a printed book vs. e-books! Thanks, Blanche
Dr Sircus I wondering if sodium bicarb or magnesium would be an alternative to surgery on a hernia on the spinal cord. It was suggested to me that as an alternative to my step father having this surgery he could possibly have an intrevenous drip of sodium bicarb to get rid of the hernia. please help.
I and everyone and everything living here have been exposed to Mineral Oil Mist for two days and then Oil Vapor for more than two years. My mother has died from this. I, all four of my dogs, and three of my horses now all have the same cancer. I have to assume it is from the same source. It is monoclonal gammopathy which apparently may progress to multiple myeloma. My bones have already started erroding and I have had to put down two horses and one dog due to the cancer. Will the sodium bi-carbonate help with this type of cancer. I cannot afford to buy the book and read it only to find out that it won’t help, but I need something since I have opted to NOT have Chemo or Radiation and the pain which began in August is already excruciating. Do you think that sodium bicarbonate will help with this type of blood borne cancer?
What book are you referring to, and, Blanch, is this the Blanch I know from MI?
Dr. Sircus, Can you tell me if this treatment using Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Bicarbonate can help a calcified gall bladder (aka Porcelain gall bladder), which MD’s say I have no options except to have it removed. Although I have not had any symptoms of gall bladder problems (except since they have been poking and proding my abdomin). They say if I don’t have it removed it is a high risk of gall bladder cancer, with a low mortality rate. Can you comment onthis and tell us… what if anything these two bicarbonates can do to help in a calcified gall bladder issue?
Also can you give amounts that should be taken if internally vs soaking in a bath with it? By soaking in a bath can it help to desolve or repair/heal the gall bladder? Md’s have no idea what is causing it, just that it has to be removed immediately. I don’t like to rush to a decision of having an organ removed, because if indeed there is only the inflammation, calcification and nothing else found, they can’t put the gall bladder back. I have to live with the after affects.
Thank you.. Hope you can respond and give me some input since I’m being pressured to have gall bladder removed and it’s very scary and confusing to me.
Dear Gail,
You really need a consultation with Dr. Sircus for this problem and to get specific dosages of supplements. I would suspect Dr. Sircus would recommend the use of sodium thiosulfate to chelate the calcium, but we’ve had no real experience with this and the gallbladder. This would be in addition to using magnesium and sodium bicarbonate.

Dr. Sircus,
I don’t see anywhere (website or book) the dosages that should be used if you are a healthy individual and just want to take a daily dose or two to keep your body functioning at optimal level.
If you could share those, that would be great.
Thanks,
Eugene.
Eugene,
A healthy person can use 2-3 oz of magnesium oil sprayed on the skin 2-3 times per week, or put a few cups of bath flakes in a bath a couple of times per week…..can also do this daily if it helps you relax.
4 or 5 sprays of magnesium chloride oil in a glass of water will also help to raise levels.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I was actually referring to baking soda. I didn’t get a chance to try Magnesium oil yet. My pH keeps jumping when I don’t drink Baking Soda cocktail daily (varying from 5 to 7). So to counter act, I add a quarter tea spoon in a full large glass of water once/twice a day (not sure if that’s too much). My understanding from reading the book is that I should take breaks and should not do it for more than a week or two at a time. I would wait a week or two and then proceed with roughly the same protocol again. What would you suggest I do to stay healthy…I’m trying to learn as much as I can, sorry if I overwhelm with questions.
Thanks again,
Eugene.
Eugene,
Sorry I misunderstood that you were talking about bicarb instead of magnesium!!!
Some of the things you could do is take a good look at your diet……do you eat a very acid forming diet?
To alkalinize:
Decrease the amount of meat eaten
Increase amount of fruit and juice daily
Take Vit C and Magneisum which affect alkalinity
Add juice of 1/2 a lemon to a glass of water twice daily
Eat more alkalizing greens. Kale, turnips, mustard greens, endive and collard greens all increase alkalinity. Consume at least two cups of alkalizing greens per day.
Add oats, wild rice, quinoa, yams, sweet potatoes and lentils (all alkalinizing foods) to your diet.
Yes breaks are needed when using higher doses of bicarb for treatment of cancer……to allow the body to adjust and not become too high in carbon dioxide which can lead to many bad problems…..heart and breathing problems. This is why we would rather not have people become so dependent on drinking the bicarb, though many do fine in the small doses like 1/8-1/4 tsp per day….
Our pH levels do fluctuate…..depending on whether we are testing urine or saliva, when we last ate or drank something, what we last ate or drank, our general state of health etc. Some people with kidney failure cannnot excrete acids in their body appropriately and this is one reason why daily bicarbonate is prescribed for them.
pH should always be checked fasting or at least two hours away from eating or drinking anything.
Ok then…last question for tonight :)
Would taking a bath with 1 pound of backing soda (I think that’s what the book recommends), 4-5 times a week be ok, as an example, or would the body absorb some of the water and it would be equivalent to taking Baking Soda orally and having too much CO2 in your system. Not that I would actually take a bath with Baking Soda once a day, but I want to understand how the body works.
Thanks,
Eugene.
And would you also recommend getting a water alkaline machine that would ionize water to various pH levels….
Eugene,
Taking a bath in baking soda would not be equivalent to ingesting baking soda. A bath will pull out toxins rather than introduce baking soda and frequent baths should be done in times of heavy radiation…not necessarily every day in normal conditions. Too much may very well cause problems.
You may want to consider a personal consultation with Dr. Sircus to answer all of your questions if the books aren’t giving you adequate information. You can request this through contacting : [email protected]
But please read the sodium bicarbonate book in addition to the magnesium book for more information. Dr. Sircus is generally advising reverse osmosis treatment for water.
for colon cancer that has now spread to gall bladder and liver.is it advisable to start the sodium bicarbonate and maple syrup diet,if so how much and how often and also how about high ph water.Please ansew asap.thanks jeff
I’ve recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had biopsy’s to confirm the findings. I’m in my late 50′s an I am not encouraged at the prospect of radiation or surgical removal and was wondering what bicarbonate of soda enemas could offer as far as curing the problem and what dosages and frequency I should administer them?
Thank you for your dedication to this subject and offering of some ray of hope beyond what medical science has to offer.
Dear Mick,
We have available the account from Vernon Johnson, whom Dr. Sircus has written about in a number of his essays. Please take a look at his website and the protocol he followed for curing his prostate/bone cancer.
http://phkillscancer.com/
He did not use enemas …..just oral intake.
Dr. Sircus cannnot address or give recommendations on each specific person’s cancer on this blog site or websites.
He would need much more information from you and there is not just one way to use his protocols for cancer treatment.

HOW DO I MIX BICARB WITH MAPLE SYRUP FOR CERVICAL CANCER HOW MUCH BICARB TO WATER DO I USE AND DO I JUST MIX IN GLASS THEN DRINK IT
Dear Karen,
You need to read the e-book on Sodium Bicarbonate which gives the instructions for both ways of using sodium bicarbonate to treat your cancer and for the necessary pH testing. The book is available at: http://publications.imva.info/index.php/e-books/sodium-bicarbonate-rich-man-s-poor-man-s-cancer-treatment-e-book.html
See the video by Vernon Johnson who cured his prostate cancer with the maple syrup(or molasses) and baking soda here: http://blog.imva.info/medicine/amazing-cancer-therapy-wipes-prostate-bone-cancer
Tumors tend to shrink if they are frequently exposed to an alkaline environment, such as being bathed in sodium bicarbonate solution. This is easiest with externally accessible tumors such as those in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, colon, prostate, rectum and cervix or uterus. Generally boil 1-3 liters of water, dissolve 2 – 4 big spoonfuls of sodium bicarbonate. Lie so that the affected cavity is the lowest part of the body and insert the solution. Turn around 90 degrees every ten minutes, so that all sides are treated. To fill the uterus the legs should be raised with the pelvis higher than the head. Do these treatments once or twice daily for 7 to 8 days, then you may interrupt for 6 days before starting another treatment cycle. This is Dr. Simoncini’s treatment for cervical cancer as reported by Walter Last at:
